I am just curious. Are screw machines completely obsolete technology,

Tomorrow, there is going to be an auction with about 80 of them for
sale. I want to make sure that I see them properly. In my eyes, they
are scrap metal material, not resellable.

You'll have a shot at 70 out of 80 machines. While still in use, this
technology very much in decline. Any shop going down has beat them to
****.
